يهودا الحريزي كاتب وشاعر ثنائي اللغة في العصور الوسطى

Abstract

A group of Jewish poets, who lived in the villages and cities of Andalusia and were educated in the Arab culture, wrote poetry in both Arabic and Hebrew. The Jewish writers of maqamat, one of the most important Arab literary genres in Andalusia, followed suit the pioneers of Arab maqamat, such as Badi’ al-Zaman al-Hamadhani and Abu Mohammad al-Hariri.  Yehuda al-Harizi(1165- 1125), one of the famous Jewish writers of maqamat, established the pillars of the Hebrew maqamat. Al-Harizi was a true bilingual in both Arabic and Hebrew. He wrote poetry and maqamat in both Hebrew and Arabic. The current study aims at shedding some light on Al-Harizi’s literary products, both poetry and maqamat, written in the Arabic language.
